George James Frampton attested for the Middlesex Regiment on 11 December 1911 and served with the 6th Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 18 January 1915. He subsequently served on attachment to the 4th Battalion, Nigeria Regiment in Nigeria in 1918, and was awarded the Africa General Service Medal with ‘Nigeria 1918’ clasp, the only other rank (together with two officers) from the Middlesex Regiment to receive the medal- it is probable he acted as an instructor to the native troops involved in the Abudi War, June-July 1918. He was discharged on account of wounds on 12 June 1919, and was awarded a Silver War Badge.
